You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.

The highest reward that God gives us for good work is the ability to do better work.

By reading the scriptures I am so renewed that all nature seems renewed around me and with me. The sky seems to be a pure, a cooler blue, the trees a deeper green. The whole world is charged with the glory of God and I feel fire and music under my feet.

God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.

Reputation is what men and women think of us character is what God and angels know of us.
